Administration is talking to the Iranian Parliament speaker. Unclear what his relationship is with the IRGC.
About as distant as from the Iranian state decision making apparatus as was the President of the USSR in its day. In other words he would be little more than an errand boy for the IRGC and what's left of the Ayatollahs. Close to absolute zero authority next to the Iranian President.
The country is run by the Spiritual Council and its bodyguard, the IRGC.
